I live in Bangalore, India. My Mom
is a devotee of Shirdi and Satya Sai Baba. That is how I got
into His Fold. I have been praying to Baba for many years now.
This is a small experience of mine, but for those of us whose
faith keeps wavering, it is a sign that Baba does exist and is
listening to us. I visit the Shirdi Mandir close to home every
now and then. I generally don't go inside on Thursdays due to
the heavy rush. I made some purchases and was walking towards
the Temple today i.e. Thursday. I saw some people eating Prasad
(Kesari bath - sweet dish made out of Rava/Semolina) and the
following thought crossed my mind -'how nice it would be if I
could get a spoon of the Kesari bath. I haven't eaten it in a
while. I'm not that old, but try to avoid sweets because my Dad
is diabetic. I stood outside the temple premises and prayed to
Baba and requested Him to solve my problems. One of the
volunteers came towards me and gave me some prasad. I was really
surprised because they generally don't give it to people
standing outside the temple. There was a long queue of people
waiting to go inside the temple. I told myself that Baba knew my
desire and gave me the Prasad. I was really happy - shared a
little with another girl who was praying from the outside like
me and took the remaining home for my Parents.
Here is another incident that I would like to share. I had never
experienced any miracle from Baba's side. I was going through a
very low phase earlier this year and was praying in a hall (Next
to the Sai Mandir) that had Baba's picture. There was nobody
else in the hall. I usually keep Vibhuti on my forehead and
looked for it in the hall, but it was not there. I prayed and
cried in front of Baba and asked Him if He was really there and
why He was troubling me so much. I asked Him to give me a sign.
I suddenly smelt Vibhuti. It lasted for a fraction of a second
and the smell was gone. The smell could not have come from
outside since there was a lot of distance between me and the
entrance of the hall. So I don't think it was my imagination.
Since I asked Baba for a sign, He gave me a sign!! So Baba is
there and is listening.
